Hello. I'm new to fanart.tv and i don't know if here is the right place to put my question.
I have an image for an album cover that i want to add, but i cant upload images bigger than 1mb.
I don't know how to change the size of the image without quality loss. What should I do?
My image is 1.14mb.

Hey bud, have you tried moving the slider to the left until it's less than 1mb, when saving?

Sorry, but what slider? I'm not editing it, I just found it on the internet at a good quality and size. When i try to upload it there's no sliders...

first: what type is this image ? when its 1000x1000 i dont think its a JPG ( maybe a PNG )
second: load it in ur grafik programm ( photoshop,gimp, etc... )
third: save it as a JPG ! and adjust the compression until u are under 1mb ( result should be ok after compression, cause all images in our Database are under 1mb and they are mostly brilliand
)
fourth: be happy and have a beer and a cookie

ppi only matters when you print.

The only way to decrease the file size would be to decrease compression quality.

Personally I'd jump straight to step four, but that's just me
